AMD has revealed its full range of RX 6000 graphics cards. Dubbed "Big Navi," these new GPUs are directly competing with Nvidia's latest RTX 30- series, with the RTX 3070 launching soon. AMD's latest range starts with the new RX 6800XT, a massive card that features 16GB of GDDR6 memory, 72 compute units, a base clock of 2015MHz, and a boost clock of 2250MHz. It's also less power hungry than Nvidia's RTX 3080, requiring only 300W (a difference of 20W). The RX 6800 keeps the same 16GB of GDDR6 memory, but drops compute units down to 60 while also reducing base and boost clocks to 1815MHz and 2105MHz respectively.The news comes hot on the heels of its Ryzen 5000 series CPU announcement earlier in October.AMD's own benchmarks positions the RX 6800XT as a direct competitor to the RTX 3080, while the RX 6800 is compared to the older RTX 2080Ti. In both sets of results below there are instances where Nvidia's cards are ahead, AMD is confident that its cards either match or better its competition in the majority of cases. AMD omitted any comparisons to the RTX 3070, but given its delayed launch date that isn't too surprising.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

CD Projekt Red announced what will presumably be the last delay to Cyberpunk 2077, pushing it back by a mere 21 days to make more time for the day zero patch. It is understandably a bummer. But this being the Internet, some sliver of the population went way too far with it, prompting the team to request an end to the death threats.RPG design lead Andrej Zawadzki said on Twitter that he understands why fans may feel angry or disappointed, but sending death threats is unacceptable. "We are people, just like you," he said. Much of the anger seems to have stemmed from a tweet sent by the Cyberpunk Twitter account, just one day before the delay announcement, promising no more delays. While many fans took it in stride as a somewhat embarrassing mishap for the repeatedly-delayed game, others claimed it showed CDPR had intentionally misled its fans.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Respawn has released the launch trailer for Apex Legends Season 7: Ascension. Adding new playable character Horizon, Season 7 begins on November 4. We get to see a lot of the brand-new content coming to the season in the trailer, so let's break it down.Let's start with Horizon, Season 7's new character. We still don't have confirmation on her abilities yet, but we can look to the Season 7 launch trailer for clues--Respawn has traditionally left hints to a new character's abilities in these trailers.At 2:16, Horizon throws out a device that launches Crypto, Bangalore, and Bloodhound into the air, which makes them easy to shoot down. Then, at 2:43, she uses the massive device on her back to create a black hole-like vortex that drags Octane, Wattson, and Wraith together and makes them an easy kill with a single grenade. Finally, immediately following that at 2:47, Horizon gracefully descends onto the battlefield, seemingly unaffected (and possibly even reinvigorated if her dialogue is any indication) from falling down from such a high height. All three instances match (and subsequently seemingly support) the datamined leaks for Horizon's tactical, ultimate, and passive abilities.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The latest show to come back for the reboot treatment is the popular '90s after-school cartoon Tiny Toon Adventures, which somehow despite feeling omnipresent at the time in fact only ran for 98 episodes across three seasons (which are now streaming on Hulu). In a release, HBO Max and Cartoon Network announce they have gotten a series order for two seasons of Tiny Toons Looniversity to revive that world and its cast of characters resembling younger versions of the countless popular Looney Tunes animals."Tiny Toons Looniversity will capture all the clever, subversive, and smart humor that made Tiny Toon Adventures such a standout series," said Tom Ascheim, president of Warner Bros. Global Kids, Young Adults, and Classics. "Fans old and new will love to laugh at and with these characters all over again."The series will take place in the titular university, "where young dreamers become professional toons." In this reboot, based on the release, it sounds like the younger versions and full-fledged versions of these characters will be interacting more directly, and more frequently.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Dystopic action-RPG The Ascent was originally planned to launch this year--possibly even alongside the Xbox Series X and Series S--but the game has been pushed into 2021. When we do get our hands on the loot-and-shoot cyberpunk game, however, it will be free via Xbox Game Pass.The first game from the small team at Neon Giant, The Ascent is targeting full 4K resolution and 60 frames per second gameplay on both PC and Xbox Series X. The cyberpunk world is yours to explore with up to three friends, and you'll have access to multiple vertical levels rather than a flat plane like we see in the isometric action-RPG genre. It also features a double-aiming mechanic for more combat variety as well as "cyberwear" and augmentations in classic cyberpunk fashion.As you can see in the gameplay footage, The Ascent's combat plays out much like a twin-stick shooter, with a red laser coming from weapons to help with aiming as you avoid attacks. The verticality extends to the combat, too; you can aim lower or higher to stagger enemies more easily or attempt to hit them behind cover. With destructible elements in the environment, you have more freedom with how you tackle each fight, too.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
